Tom is back, everybody! And he’s been playing a lot of games! Tune in this week to hear him share his thoughts on Tearaway and Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus before Eric jumps in for some first-hand PS4 impressions. Then, after the break, Josh discusses the Avengers vs X-Men Heroclix sets and Brandon finally has a legitimate reason to spend valuable podcast time talking about Mario. Plus, listener emails!

One of the biggest reasons that I got into Warmachine is because most tournaments for it actually have no painting requirements. This is awesome, because as a blind-ass man (I see in shades of tints of blue, amongst other problems) I have no interest in painting. Even infantry models can be played partially assembled. There are tournaments that require painting… but they’re all very high profile events. A local tournament will ‘never’ turn you away for unpainted models.

Just because the start of the episode talked about mario 1, I went to a house party where someone had that up in the back ground for anyone one who just wanted to give it a go. So i picked it up and i was failing miserably at it. About 10 minutes into into me playing this fucking game, a guy walks up and sees me having a hard time with it, and decides to sit down and watch me play. after a couple minutes, I die for the umpteenth, to which he turns to me and says ” you know that this game is designed for children right? you’re failing at a children’s game”. I then put down the controller, quietly finished my beer, and left. that is the day i gave up on playing video games. that was 2 years ago.
